โ“What happens when a platform refuses to let science do its job?

Our EU-funded project BIG-5, hosted at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center and the UAB, investigates how social media platforms shape environmental values.

๐ŸŽฎ๐ŸŒฟ Exploring how videogames shape our relationship with nature.
Can digital experiences foster real-world care for the environmentโ€”or do they distance us from it?

๐Ÿง  Weโ€™re reflecting on virtual nature and what it means to connect with it. What do you think?

๐Ÿš€ Addressing Selection Bias in Social Media Research ๐ŸŒ

Yesterday at the Brown Bag Sessions at the Barcelona Super Computing Center, Ramin Soleymani-Fard (Software Engineer & PhD Researcher, BIG5 Team) shared insights on tackling selection bias in social media data.

๐Ÿ’ป The BIG-5 team is currently engaged in the intricate process of manually identifying and coding relational nature values in social media content from TikTok, YouTube, and X. This work exposes us to unfiltered online material, some of which can be deeply distressing.

It's exciting times for the BIG-5 team! ๐Ÿš€ Last week, we had the pleasure of participating in the CSSH All Hands Meeting at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center. There, we connected with colleagues, shared insights, and explored cutting-edge research in Computational Social Science and Humanities.

๐ŸŒฟ How Do We Interact with Nature? After sharing our last post, weโ€™ve been fascinated by the insights and discussions it sparked.

๐Ÿ“ข Join us on Instagram (www.instagram.com/big_5_project/) to participate in our polls and share your perspectives on what counts as an interaction with nature.

๐ŸŒณ Nature and technology are more connected than you think. โš™๏ธ At BIG-5, we explore how social media can be a powerful tool for environmental action. ๐ŸŒฑ Want to stay informed about our findings and join a group of environmental advocates researching at the frontier of knowledge? ๐Ÿ”ฌ Subscribe to our newsletter! โžก๏ธ https://bit.ly/4h5tQ1k
